Glass Road [Scripted]

Description
About
Glass Road is a game that commemorates the 700-year-old tradition of glass-making in the Bavarian Forest. (Today the Glass Road is a route through the Bavarian Forest that takes visitors to many of the old glass houses and museums of that region.) You must skillfully manage your glass and brick production in order to build the right structures that help you to keep your business flowing. Cut the forest to keep the fires burning in the ovens, and spread and remove ponds, pits and groves to supply yourself with the items you need. Fifteen specialists are there at your side to carry out your orders...

The game consists of four building periods. Each player has an identical set of fifteen specialist cards, and each specialist comes with two abilities. At the beginning of each building period, each player needs to choose a hand of five specialists. If he then plays a specialist that no other player has remaining in his hand, he may use both abilities of that card; if two or more players play the same specialist, each of them may use only one of the two abilities. Exploiting the abilities of the specialists lets you collect resources, lay out new landscape tiles (e.g., ponds and pits), and build a variety of buildings. There are three types of buildings:

  • Processing buildings
  • Immediate buildings with a one-time effect
  • Buildings that provide bonus points at the end of the game for various accomplishments

Mastering the balance of knowing the best specialist card to play and being flexible about when you play it – together with assembling a clever combination of buildings – is the key to this game.

I am also having the bug where the tokens on the wheels can't be moved, was there ever a solution for that?

You mod has some weird bugs in it. Cards are randomly flipping over when you drag them out of your hand which kills the building period phases. The discard button also sometimes gets rid of cards you've had face up so that's not working right either. And why do resource tokens keep flipping over/jumping after you change state on the dial?

Thanks. Seems to be working for 2 players now.

It'd be neat to add snap-to locations for the resources on the wheel, and then give each piece a starting state and add an option for players to increment or decrement by one.

It's also be neat to change the game wheel to start at 0 at the top and then that would line up states 1 through 11 with the hours on a clock. might be a bit more intuitive.

If i dug in and learned LUA would I be able to contribute updates?

Hi, wanted you know that your mod has been added to my collection: Board Game Geek - BGG - May 2020 - Best Mod for each of the Top 500 Rated Games. Collection here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2086043930

The collection used this priority system:

1. Mod's Files Availability: Mod with all/most files still available for download
2. Feature completeness: Mod with greatest inclusion of expansions and/or promos available for the board game title
2. Scripting: Mod with scripting that most reduces work in setup/play for players
3. Component Quality: Mod with the best visuals/usability in terms of component quality
4. Table Setup/Ambiance: Mod with the best immersion with table, background, and other modeling.

Please also note that a mod that makes selection for this list very well could be one in which the mod author borrowed the majority of assets from another workshop listing, so full thanks to all who worked on a mod.

Thanks for your hard work!

I just wish there were updated rules or something. There's this new solo tile thing that comes with the game, I believe. Totally different than what's stated in the rules link above.

We believe the models on the wheel and the building tokens are now broken for new players. We attempted to play a game yesterday and the models refused to be picked up by our new player who had not loaded this mod unlike myself and my friends

No problem. Glad you can get to have fun playing it now.
